Abstract

A 39-year-old male was discovered to have a malignant glioma in the right cerebellar hemisphere 8 years after surgical excision of a suprasellar germinoma and postoperative irradiation (4250 cGy). The clinical and pathological details are presented, and the literature on radiation-induced gliomas is reviewed.
